Love Spring Time

Good Afternoon,

It's Monday which means there's a new challenge starting over at 

Dream Valley

This week's challenge is being sponsored by the fabulous 

All Dressed Up

I took the opportunity  to use this challenge to make a card for my Granddaughter's birthday which is on Easter Sunday and the challenge theme suits her to the ground:

Ribbon/Lace & Pearls

all things so girly which is Alisha

I used an image from this week's sponsor called 'Love Spring Time' and can be found here. I printed it and cut it using my Cameo, cutting out an extra bow for her hair. I used markers and a spot of chalk to colour the image, using the blender pen to bleach out the spots on the butterfly. I used all three items in this week's challenge theme, pleating the ribbon before adding over the lace. The digi papers are from Nit Wits and  the Barkley CD. 

Hop on over to the challenge blog to see what fab creations the talented team have made.

Thank you for visiting my blog today

Have a Great Day!

Friday Sketch Challenge #77

Good Morning my crafty friends,

Nearly the weekend, yippee!! Don't know why but this week has really been hard going. Still 1 more week at work then I've got 2 weeks off. My plan is to get my Sons bedroom that he vacated in January decorated and made into my craft room, can't wait. Think I'm gonna get the furniture from Ikea but I'm open to suggestions. 

Here is this week's sketch over at

Friday Sketch Challenge

it was designed by me, I hope you like it.

The challenge is being sponsored by Flat Friends, I have used one of their images which is called 'Walkies' and can be found here

I used 'Breath Fresh Air Too' digi papers from nitwits. I shrunk down the paper to paper piece the dress and colour picked some plain pink for the belt. The rest of the image was coloured with markers, chalks and some glossy accents. 

Have a lovely day!

Friday Sketch Challenge #72

Good Morning my crafty friends,
Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend. I can't believe how quick the weeks go!

It's time for a new sketch to play with over at
Friday Sketch Challenge
and here it is:


I have done some more paper piecing using Nitwits papers and a sweet owl image, not sure where this image came from as I did not file it properly. The rest of the image was coloured with markers & distress ink (to paint the bark) & glossy accents was added to the eyes. The sentiment was computer generated

Hope you will hop on over to the main challenge blog to see the creations my teamies have made

CAS @ MAWTT

Good Morning everyone,

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Moving Along with The Times

The BOSS  Hazel is hosting this week 

Clean & Simple

is her chosen theme

I grabbed this fab digi for free from Meljens Designs FB page the other weekend. It's called  'Number One Dad Stitched' which can be found here and has 50% off at the moment. I printed it off on a white piece of 5.5" card which was mounted onto a black mat. I then printed it off on a piece of blue & brown nitwits paper, cut out the letters and used them to paper piece the image.

I was pleased with the outcome so made a second one using the remaining letters.

Not sure which one I prefer! & I'm not sure why the card looks blue, it is definitely white

Hope one over to the main challenge blog for some fabulous ideas from the girls of team A.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #159

Good Morning Everyone,

 

Hope you are all having a great weekend!
I went shopping with my Sister yesterday to buy plants for my hanging baskets. Thought I might be tempting fate but guess what! It's another sunny day here in Northampton so in the garden I must go to plant them up. Oh and we got the grow bags for the tommie's so must do that too.

 

 

Over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp see's the start of a new challenge today which Mari has designed us a super sketch to play with

Here's what I came up with:




 

I am aware that I don't do enough florally cards & as soon as I make one it sells. So when out shopping for crafty bits for work the other evening and I saw a Papermania 'Just to Say' stamp set for sale for just £1 which I couldn't resist, the set come with the image & sentiment stamp above a  rose tree stamp that I have stamped and will share with you later in the week.

The papers are digi ones from Nitwits 'breath fresh air too' and have been matted onto black card.

The butterflies were cut on the silhouette and glittered with glamour dust.

 

Hop on over the challenge blog to see more super inspiration from my teamies.

Don't forget, use the sketch and there must be a stamped image or sentiment on your creation.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Friday Sketch Challenge #31 reminder

Good Evening,

I feel so guilty as I'm really late posting this. I should have posted this Friday morning as it's a halfway reminder card for  Friday Sketch Challenge following Debra's sketch.  However I have had a raging toothache & could not concentrate to do anything so perhaps I can be forgiven

I have used Christmas Robin's Delight, an image from this week's sponsor, which I have coloured in with Spec's and added some glamour dust.

The papers are from Nitwits

Christmas Bird House

Good Evening,

Just a quick post to share with you a card I have made following the sketch & theme over @

Willow Sketchie

The image is from Willow designs and can be found on 'The Double Sprinkle of Kraft' CD. I have coloured it in in Christmas colours & added glitter to the roof tops & the ground to give the impression of snow. I have also given the bird a red breast. I think it works, how about you!

Paper's  -  Nitwits 

Fence die - memory box

Sentiment - Do crafts CD

Distress ink - Tea dye

Good Afternoon,

Another wasted day waiting for the workmen. I phoned them late morning to find out what was going on to find out they're not coming till Monday. They say they've been trying to phone me but I know that's not true as I've had my phone on me 24/7, yes I took it to bed with me in case they phoned early in the morning. I waffling......sorry


My card today has been made with the challenge over @ Totally Gorjuss in mind, pink & green and this is surely that! This is a colour combo that I don't usually go for so this was quite challenging for me but I think it's turned out OK!
